Hi... I'm Codie.
If we haven't met, I build and buy businesses and help you make money. I used to work on Wall Street and in Private Equity for too many years. Then I realized I'd rather YOU AND I own our businesses locally instead. So I built up Main Street Holding Company, Contrarian Thinking Capital & Co. Now, we own and grow dozens of businesses. My mission is to create 100,000 business owners and help 1 million of us build profitable businesses. I hope you’re one.
Here's what I know for sure... those who say it's impossible should get out of the way of those of you who are doing it!! ❤️
If you want to grow your business... we got you: link
